‘Sit Down and Be Quiet’ — MAGA Attack on Jewish Republican Exposes Christian Nationalism’s Shaky Commitment to Pluralism

…. A GOP House member from Ohio and an advisor to former President Trump, Miller has essentially marched in lockstep with the MAGA movement. But last week Miller fired off a tweet that created an uproar in the MAGAverse—in particular among its Christian nationalist contingent. After Lizzie Marbach, Communications Director at Ohio Right to Life, tweeted “There’s no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone,” Miller forcefully…

What We Don’t Know About Black Social Gospel: A Long-Neglected Tradition Is Reclaimed

…books while imploring scholars that we need a book on this tradition. Finally I applied the imploring to myself, because the greatest legacy of the justly renowned social gospel movement is not the one recounted in books about Walter Rauschenbusch, Washington Gladden, Jane Addams, the Federal Council of Churches, John Ryan, and all that. A black tradition of the social gospel arose during the same period as the famous white one. It had its own id…

#WhiteChurchQuiet: Anything but Outrage Is Complicity

…eets and retweets and quickly becoming a Twitter trending topic. Johnson will be hosting a #WhiteChurchQuiet live tweet session tomorrow, September 28th at 10pm EST. After hearing the news that law enforcement officials had shot and killed two more black men, I braced myself. Invariably from some of the protesters and others within the black community, there is the refrain, “Where is the Church?” What they mean to ask is: “Where is the Black Churc…

White Evangelical Leaders Still Too Preoccupied With ‘Order’ to Listen to Black Truth

…e the president for what the Republican Party’s official Twitter account called the “truly touching and powerful moment.” Never mind that the diocese was not informed about the visit and that Episcopal clergy who were present are livid about the use of violence to clear the space. https://twitter.com/DavidBrodyCBN/status/1267653579852185602?s=20 https://twitter.com/Franklin_Graham/status/1267820563679989762?s=20 Of course, more insidious than the…

(1) As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her.

Not Peace, But Division? Evangelical Vaccine Refusers Divide Families

…for the most right-wing, electable candidate. This friend—one of a very small handful of conservative Christians I’m still able to retain a meaningful friendship with—ultimately recognized some limits in this matter and became a #NeverTrump conservative. I got to thinking about the political philosophy my friend grew up with this morning as I pondered the hot mess that is white evangelical rejection of the Covid-19 vaccine. (My friend, as you migh…

Conservative Christian Book on Obama’s Faith

When Stephen Mansfield, a former evangelical pastor whose last bestseller was The Faith of George Bush, decided to research and explore the faith of another political leader—Barack Obama—the last thing he expected was to get attacked by the political and religious right. His book on Obama is not even on the shelves yet, but he’s already been accused of multiple forms of treachery, and the hate mail is flooding in. How did this come about? Stephen…

Reactions to Biden’s Korean-American Secret Service Agent Expose Christian Nationalism’s Anti-Asian Side

Two weeks after the historic Capitol riots, Joe Biden’s inauguration finally removed Donald Trump from office. For Asian Americans like myself, subject this past year to a torrent of physical and verbal abuse, the sight of Biden’s Korean-American secret service agent seemed to augur change. Perhaps we might begin to rest secure in our status as “real” Americans, emblematized in a highly visible member of Biden’s security team. Those paying attent…

Christian Health Sharing Ministries Aren’t All Corrupt — But Here’s Why They Are a Problem

…ctive and my personal memories of the 1990s era Christian opposition to “Hillarycare” to contextualize the colossal failure of Sharity, a major Christian health sharing ministry (CHSM) that’s currently in the process of being liquidated, leaving some 10,000 families in the lurch with some $300 million of unpaid medical claims. My primary goal was to explore the cultural reasons that many conservative, mostly white evangelicals are drawn to ill-adv…

The Same Toxic Christian Right Theology Supports Both the Online Bullying I Experienced and the Cruel Anti-Trans Policy in TX — And it’s Not Remotely Fringe

In late February, I went through an episode of online bullying that made me feel more dehumanized than I ever had since coming out as a transgender woman, leading to several days of heightened depressive symptoms and low productivity. The suffering this bullying caused me undoubtedly pales in comparison to what families with trans children who are currently under attack in Texas are going through since Governor Greg Abbott ordered child welfare a…
